    Another chance for the visitors goes begging. It looked like Sam Dalby was about to have a clear shot at goal before Joe Wright got back in the way way of the United striker.

    That's a decent chance for United as Ryan Strain heads over the bar.

    Can sense the frustration creeping in for Jim Goodwin's side.

    Here's a close up of that incident.

    Quick poll then, goal or no goal?

    Thumbs up for goal, thumbs down for no goal.

    I don't think it's a foul. Walton's got away with one already. He flaps at it, he's soft, he's weak and I think Marley Watkins reads it well.

    He comes in, he heads it in. I don't see anything anything wrong with that goal.

    Marley Watkins and Jack Walton are both jumping for the ball and the Kilmarnock man bundles the United keeper to the ground.

    It's being checked as we speak.

    It's been such a strange game because you're just waiting on that one bit of quality and it's just lacking.

    Killie's turn to get forward as Bobby Wales' low shot takes a nick off Emmanuel Adegboyega before bundling into the arms of Jack Walton.

    It's no surprise that it's come from a long throw. He glances it on to the bar, Dalby, and Kilmarnock get it clear.

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee United

    The first real sign of any sort of threat from Dundee Untied comes from, you guessed it, Sam Dalby.

    The long throw from Will Ferry finds Dalby in the box who can only head his effort onto the crossbar.

    Derek McInnes is very animated. He seems extra antsy tonight, a little bit frustrated.

    Stephenson and Fraser Murray collide in the middle of the park with the free-kick going Dundee United's way.

    The Killie supporters are very vocal in their annoyance with that decision.
